By Cindy Snyder Times-News correspondent

Livestock and minor crop producers who have been left out of disaster programs in the past may find some relief in new permanent disaster programs. But they’ll have to act fast to make sure they’re included. The Farm Service Agency has long provided a safety blanket to crop producers through its Noninsured crop disaster assistance or NAP.NAP covers crops that are not covered by private crop insurance providers such as alfal- fa, grains for forage, alfalfa seed, grass hay or fruit trees. But now producers who want to participate in the per- manent crop disaster program known as SURE (Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program) will be required to purchase private insurance and NAP where needed to provide at least catastrophic — 50 percent — coverage for all their crop acres. For example, a producer growing wheat, sugar beets, beans and alfalfa in a rotation will be required to purchase private insurance for the wheat, beets and beans plus NAP for the alfalfa, explained Lance Phillips, FSA county executive director for Twin Falls County. “If the alfalfa is not insured, the producer will not be MEAGAN THOMPSON/Times-News eligible for SURE,”Phillips said. Sanjay Gupta, a post-harvest potato physiologist for the University of Idaho, and Tina Brandt, a research support scientist, stand in one of the Because SURE and the risk management purchase requirement were new to the 2008 Farm Bill, farmers nine cold storage bins at the research facility located north of Kimberly. ‘Each bin hosts a great deal of research,’says Brandt. She and Gupta were able to buy NAP coverage during the 2009 growing hope their research will help prevent damage to potatoes stored in cold temperatures. season. That won’t be the case going forward, Phillips said. “Producers are going to need to be thinking ahead,”he added. Not only will they have to buy NAP coverage for all the Scientists use genetic markers crops for which private insurance isn’t available and purchase See INSURE, Agribusiness 2 to develop better potatoes Idaho dairymen back +By Joshua Palmer fries that are unacceptable to has been a problem for the the markers to screen about Times-News writer consumers.
